Based on recent and long-term statistics, this lady may have perished due to either a drug overdose or an act of violence. Condolences to her family and friends.

Hmmm. Another "sudden death" surely it can't be related to the countless that's happening world wide can it.. I wonder if they're allowed to do an autopsy on her?
